The LaSalle County sheriff’s office presented vendor bids for four new patrol vehicles and outlined options for in‑car camera systems. Committee members reviewed multiple bids for 2025 Ford Police Utility Interceptors (hybrid and V6 options) and discussed pricing and delivery timelines tied to upcoming recruit graduations.

The sheriff’s office also presented a proposal for eight in‑car camera systems from a supplier (Axon/Maxon referenced in discussion) with a total contract schedule that staff described as broken into payments over several years; the proposal presented a three‑year total of $110,992.80 for eight systems (staff said the figure is an aggregate paid across contract years, with annual installments shown in the proposal).

Committee members asked whether the hybrid and V6 options were comparable; staff replied that vehicle appointments and vendor options differed but that the vehicle specifications were substantially similar aside from the powertrain. No contract award for vehicles was recorded in the transcript; the sheriff’s office said vehicles are needed to support recruits finishing training and that delivery by mid‑November was desirable.

Following presentation of bids and camera pricing, the committee took routine action on the sheriff’s monthly bills. A motion to pay the sheriff’s bills was made by Ray, seconded by Craig; the committee voted in favor and authorized payment. The meeting transcript records the approval of sheriff’s bills but does not show a formal motion awarding vehicle purchase contracts at this meeting.
